Opportunity Summary:
The "BLM CA Needles Field Office Interpretive Services" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00144) is a discretionary cooperative agreement issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management. The intent of the project is to partner with the California Trail Users Coalition (CTUC), a Southern California-based nonprofit that supports off-highway vehicle and off-road trail users by helping maintain trails, assist with planning efforts, and provide up-to-date information to the public about trail opportunities and conditions. The work is focused on public lands managed within the Needles Management Area, meaning the services and products developed under the award are intended to benefit users and visitors across that specific BLM-managed region.
At its core, the project supports interpretive and educational services that help the public better understand and appreciate BLM's role in managing public lands, with an emphasis on natural resources, cultural resources, and recreation. Activities described include producing and selling maps as well as developing interpretive and educational materials. In practice, this can cover things like trail maps and route information, visitor-facing educational content about responsible recreation, and interpretive materials that explain the landscape, wildlife, sensitive habitats, and cultural or historic values present in the area. The cooperative nature of the agreement signals that BLM and CTUC are expected to combine resources and coordinate closely rather than operate as a simple pass-through grant, with both parties contributing to planning and implementation.
The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $450,000 and an award ceiling of $450,000. The minimum award amount (floor) was listed as $500. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which generally reduces barriers for eligible nonprofit applicants and indicates that the federal funding could cover the full scope of approved project costs, subject to the agreement terms and budget review.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The announcement was posted on July 23, 2013, with an original and final closing date of August 8, 2013, and it was later archived on October 1, 2018. For official posting details and full announcement access, the listing referenced Grants.gov. The contact provided for assistance accessing the announcement was Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 530-252-5338 or lparker@blm.gov.
